If there is one pain point that is common among most human resource (HR) professionals, it is hiring the right candidate. For job seekers, the process could be as simple as submitting a resume and clearing a few rounds to land a dream job, but for recruiters, it begins with sifting through a sea of resumes to find the perfect fit for their organisation.  

Unfortunately, despite the rise of HR tech platforms in the last decade or so, tech-driven hiring has remained absent from the larger recruitment landscape. Now, let us not confuse the word ‘tech-based hiring’ with posting resumes or job requirements on a website or creating a marketplace for jobs or candidates.

Imagine having a tech platform aligned strategically to your business that could assess the requirements for your organisation, automatically look for candidates to create a talent pool, and hire the best-suited talent with little or zilch human interventions. Among other aspirations, some may want a platform that could onboard with much dexterity and pave the talents’ entire journey seamlessly until their exit.

However, to be true, this seems a bit too far-fetched. Even companies like Naukri, Indeed Shine.com, et al, have been able to achieve only little on this front. 

Acknowledging the tech gap in the industry, especially with the advent of GenAI, Roli Gupta decided to rewrite the rules of traditional recruitment processes during the pandemic and floated Babblebots in 2022.

Headquartered in Mumbai, Babblebots leverages GenAI to supercharge the hiring process for organisations. Currently serving Indian and US companies, the platform creates digital agents or AI recruiters capable of conducting long-form, human-like conversations with candidates. These AI recruiters utilise advanced LLMs and proprietary AI models to simplify recruitment.
